The winter weather that has hit Britain has wreaked havoc with the weekend's football, postponing as many as 13 fixtures.

Liverpool's clash against Everton and Manchester United's fixture against Manchester City are under threat.

Four games have been called off in Scotland's lower leagues.

With freezing temperatures and snow forecast in the area across the weekend, there have been fears that the 229th meeting between the Reds and Everton could be called off.

But the club have taken steps to assure supporters that, as it stands, the game is still on, although they have warned that the capacity 54,000 crowd will have to take extra care in getting to the match.
